Marion
by Stuart Koblentz
ISBN: 0-7385-3324-6
Now in its second printing, Marion, part of Arcadia Publishing's Images of America Series is available through the Marion County Historical Society, Marion Ohio, and other book retailers.
Unlike buying a book from an online retailer, purchasing Marion through the Marion County Historical Society benefits the society's efforts to promote and preserve Marion Ohio's rich heritage.
Marion includes many images and topics never before covered in previous books on the community, including:
- Personal images President Warren G. Harding and Florence Kling Harding before Harding's historic "front porch" campaign of 1920 .
- Crystal Lake Amusement Park, including images of The Zip - a roller coaster designed by Joseph Drambour also the designer of the 1939 World's Fair roller coaster the Thunderbolt (now at Six Flags New England)
- Isaly's Dairy - The Isaly's second market venture predating its Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and Youngstown Ohio diary operations.
